Plantae

For all those bored folks out there who like me, always wonder about the names of plants, vegetables, etc., this page is useful when you only know the name of a plant in one language but feel some obsessive need to also know it in others. For English/Chinese/Japanese. Wouldn't say it's completely accurate. にら/韭菜 isn't exactly "leek" but "garlic chives" or "chinese chives" or "chinese leek". (I know because I once spent a considerable amount of time looking for the appropriate English name)

Yes, yes, nitpicking I know.
